Kindle2 Keyboard Shortcuts

by Jon Chase on December 18, 2009 at 06:30 AM

The Amazon Kindle2 offers dozens of useful keyboard shortcuts, but here are a few of the particularly nifty ones:
  • To take a screen shot, hit Alt+Shift+G. A .gif file will appear in your Documents folder, which you can access when connected to a computer.
  • Play Minesweeper by hitting Shift+Alt+M from the Home page. Hit M to mark, R to restart, and use the controller to move around.
  • Refresh the display or a Web page by hitting Alt+G.
  • Change the spacing between the lines of text shown onscreen by hitting Alt+Shift+(any number between 1 and 9). By default, the spacing is set to 3.
For a complete list, hit up geektonic.com.
